Mojito

Ingredients
-Fresh mint
-Limes (one for each drink)
-Clear rum (Havana Club is preferred, but if not you can get Bacardi Superior Light, or Captain Morgan’s Silver Edition)
-Club Soda
-Pure granulated sugar
-Bitters

How To
-Start by making some simple syrup. To do this, put equal parts sugar and water into a pot and cook it on high (stirring the whole time) until it mixes together (you do not want it boiling!). **Make enough of this so you don’t have to make it every time you need to make a mojito.
-Place some of the fresh mint in the bottom of the glass, just enough to cover and a little bit more.
-Pour in about a finger of the simple syrup.
-Add a little granulated sugar into the glass to aid the muddling of the mint. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before serving.
-Squeeze the juice of a whole lime into the glass, leaving half of the empty lime shell in the glass.
-Take your bottle of bitters and just put a dash or two in. Mix that all together thoroughly.
-Fill the glass about 3/4 full with ice.
-Pour about 4 counts of the rum, and finish it with a splash of club soda. Make sure that you then mix the drink very well.
-Garnish with a sprig of mint.
